Popular Post cuniagau Posted October 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2020 It took me 4 short hunts to finally run the battery down. Total run time was approximately 11 hours and 35 minutes. That sure beat the 3 1/2 from the factory battery. I ran about 95% of the time in AM and only switched to Tone or Mute to check targets. Running mostly presets on the other settings. The audio of certain targets is starting to become inbedded in my brain now. Nickels are easy to recognize now. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Joe Beechnut OBN Posted October 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2020 Wow! That's excellent.... Thank you for taking the time to test the run time..... I figured about 11 hours. Good to know it's better then I figured. I have 9 done now, (3 shorties - 6 Big batteries) testing each submerged in the water for about a hour. Got two shorties tested already then taking one out thursday.........Will start testing the Big batteries maybe Saturday...Then I'll start shipping Monday. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dewcon4414 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 So now I have to ask.... surely Fisher is seeing this. Even 6 hours on their production model isn’t close to this. If Joe can do this in his garage as inexpensive as he’s doing it .... why can’t they? Joes been the innovator now for the Xcal and now seems the problem solver for the run time. His design is clean... and works. Run time has been my biggest complaint. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you like it ? Haven’t seen any pics yet. I know Cliff got his awhile back. If the run time is to short for you, buy one of Joe’s big batteries. That should hold you on those long hunts. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALEXANDRE TARTAR Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 A hunt beyond 6-7 hours in ALL METAL is starting to sting! 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
